Origins of ChessThe history of chessspans some 1500 years. The earliest predecessors of the game originated in India, prior to the 6th century AD. From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, the game evolved into its current form in the 15th century. In the second half of the 19th century, modern tournament chess began, and the first world chess championship was held in 1886.

The 20th century saw great leaps forward in chess theory and the establishment of the World Chess Federation (FIDE).
